Wanda Sykes Teams With Jenny Daly’s T Group On Competition Format ‘Throw Mama From The Game Show’

Jenny Daly’s T Group Productions (Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings) and Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz’s Push It Productions (Last Comic Standing, Talk Show the Game Show) have teamed to produce competition format Throw Mama From the Game Show for the U.S. TV marketplace. The companies will be pitching the adult comedy project to broadcast and premium outlets this week.

Throw Mama from the Game Show is a one-hour elimination game show that pits teams of a mother and her millennial against one another to beat the competition while successfully conquering hilarious challenges. The challenges will increase in scale and test the teams’ relationships, mental capacities and physical abilities. For those mother/millennial teams that fail, mom will be expelled in epic fashion, while the one winning team that walks away unscathed will receive a flashy prize to help them get over any bruised familial feelings.

“This is going to be a lot of fun,” said Sykes. “I’m just happy my kids are too young to compete. They’d love to watch me get shot out of a cannon.”
